Thats because you allow yourself to be brainwashed by the media characterization of our President. I think for myself and evaluate the President based on how his performance effects me as a citizen of the US. You know little or nothing about me, my needs or my relationshipo with our government.

You assume that there is something substantive about him in the first place. Bad assumption.

I don't know if you were responding to me or in general. However, I was not directing my post at you, although I suppose since you're a Bush supporter, I was. I too think for myself & it's a bit hard to know anything about anything w/out reading or watching the news, how else is someone supposed to get information? I'd like to know what your thought of Obama would be if he steered this nation in the exact same way Bush has for the last 8 years....I predict since he's a democrat, you'll blast him.

right?
Wrong! Recognize the complete double-standard mentality of the "left". Everything about them is hypocritical.

Lets think like a Dummie-crat:

"I am pro-choice, but against the death penalty."

"Equality for all, except in the case of Blacks or Hispanics or Women in which case we need affirmative action cause some of us are just a little more equal than others. PS - Asians need not apply for special consideration cause you are all so smart."

"Global warming is killing the planet...we must act now! PS - this gas is sure expensive, how about a refundable tax credit for us poor guys so we can still drive our SUV's."

"I am committed to ending Global warming...from the comfort and safety of my Lear jet."

"Minimum wage for me. PS - maximum wage for you greedy CEO types."

"The auto execs are out of touch when they fly into Washington in their private jets. PS- Obama needed that private jet to run a campaign, and Pelosi's new "private" government jet is for her safety."

"Illegals are just here to earn a living, quit persecuting them. PS - lets raise the taxes on the rich guys to pay for their education, healthcare, and anchor babies."

I can't think of one position you Dummie-crats have that you don't contradict yourself on. You are inconsistent. You rationalize your behavior as needed to make yourselves feel good, while in reality you collectively act like spoiled children.

Bush has done some things I don't care for. But he has stayed consistent in his stated goal and purpose, and has not waivered in the face of adverse public opinion. You guys on the "left" have no balls - you alter your stance or position based on CNN and other MSM propaganda. If its popular this week, you are all for it. Next week it might be something else.

PSS, you Demmies are a crooked bunch to boot. Selling Senate seats, rigging elections, ACORN, etc. At least learn how to cheat discretely. You guys are rank amateurs.

Affirmative action? Asians need not apply, even though they are the true minority in the US (along with Native Americans):

I base my ideas on the realities of my experiences. When I look at my pay check and see 1/4 of it going to the government I say "no more". When I see radical Muslims carrying out terrorist attacks on Americans throughout the world I say "do something". When I see our labor markets flooded with cheap labor from Mexico and H1bs from around the world I say "overhaul immigration build a fence and deport illegals".

This is simple stuff and doesnt need all the olberman/hannity commentary and supposed analysis. Its like the commercial with the firemen passing legislation.

Everyone in favor of clean water say I, aye!!!, easiest job I ever had"
